"Emergency services in Spain are generally reliable and efficient. In the event of an emergency, you can call 112 to request an ambulance. The operator will ask for your location and the nature of the emergency, and will then dispatch an ambulance to your location. In some cases, the operator may also provide medical advice over the phone," said another in Spain.

We would call our insurance Sanitas emergency line or dial 112 for emergency," explained one expat who made the move to Granada, Spain.
